Our story begins on a dance studio floor. Having danced at his mothers dance studio all our lives, Ryan and I have known each other, and have grown up together from the start.


My first memory of Ryan was from when I was just 6 years old and he was 12.


We watched each other through life transitions...
We celebrated each others victories...
We showered each others families with love and admiration for years of friendship...
But then, as we got older, both Ryan and I left home not knowing where our separate journeys would take us.


For the next 8 years, he served across the world fighting for Americas freedom both in the United States Air Force and Navy. I too was traveling the world. During my journey, I graduated college, studied abroad in various countries, graduated grad school, and eventually lived in New York, California, and Missouri...


But little did we know...
After 8 years of our own adventures, we found each other once again where we were meant to be all along... home.


Since bumping into each other in our hometown movie theater on May 6, 2022, our lives have been forever changed.
